 IE8 slow in closing down separate opened tabs - VxFan
I tend to open a few browser windows (ctrl + clicking on the link). After an evening of surfing, closing these tabs seems to get slower and slower to the point where it can take approx 10 to 15 seconds for an individual browser tab to close. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to when it happens or what website I am viewing at the time. It just seems to happen randomly with no warning.

I don't think it's a RAM issue (there's 2 GB of it). Pentium 4 3.20 GHz processor. WinXP Home SP3 operating system.

At the moment when it happens I have to reboot the PC to sort it out.

Any suggestions other than stop opening multilple browser tabs?
